Yep, long as there wasn't heroic effort involved in making the piston move, soaking and getting things moving slowly probably won't be a problem. (I guess I mixed in fishhead's comment about beating the shizzle loose in a different motor. ) Loosening and 'washing' seems to work on a lot of these small motors, since much of the stuff that needs rinsing is corrosion effects rather than carbon, the usual cause of sticking rings.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
